Sunday Bloody Sunday
The Party Party Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heavy night, it was a heavy night
Feels like we've come back from the dead
Heavy night, it was a heavy night
I cannot remember what I said to anyone

If we get up now we can catch the afternoon
Watch the under fifteens playing football in the park
Let's sit in St. Leonard's on this alcoholic day
We're doing the best with what we've got

I'll love you in the morning
When you're still hung-over
I'll love you in the morning
When you're still strung out
I'll love you in the morning

I work hard all week, and so do you
We deserve to let off some steam
Less orthodox, creeping
When we need to rage through this life

There might be ones who are smarter than you
That have the right answers, that wear better shoes
Forget about those melting ice caps
We're doing the best with what we've got

I'll love you in the morning
When you're still hung-over
I'll love you in the morning
When you're still strung out

When I'm with you I am calm
A pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest, a silent smile
A private kind of happiness

You see giant proclamations are all very well
But our love is louder than words

When I'm with you I am calm
A pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest, a silent smile
A private kind of happiness (I'll love you in the morning)

When I'm with you I am calm (I'll love you in the morning)
A pearl in your oyster (I'll love you in the morning)
Head on my chest, a silent smile (I'll love you in the morning)
A private kind of happiness (I'll love you in the morning)

When I'm with you I am calm (I'll love you in the morning)
A pearl in your oyster (I'll love you in the morning)
Head on my chest, a silent smile (I'll love you in the morning)
A private kind of happiness (I'll love you in the morning)

I'll love you in the morning
I'll love you in the morning
I'll love you in the morning




I'll love you in the morning
I'll love you in the morning

Overall Meaning

The Party Party's song "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is a nostalgic, melancholic ode to a heavy night of drinking and letting off steam, followed by a day of lounging and recuperation. The lyrics describe the aftermath of a wild night out, where the singer and their partner are dazed and uncertain about what they said or did. Despite the haze of the morning after, they still feel a sense of deep love and connection, and they revel in their private moments of happiness together.


Later in the song, the lyrics take a turn towards a commentary on societal pressures and expectations. The singer acknowledges that there may be people who are smarter or better dressed than them, but they reject the idea of measuring success or happiness by these shallow standards. Instead, they focus on the strength and depth of their love for each other, which is more powerful than any proclamations or material possessions.


The overall tone of the song is one of wistful nostalgia and romantic devotion, with a hint of defiance against societal norms. The chorus repeats the line "I'll love you in the morning," emphasizing the enduring nature of their love and commitment to each other.
